Pics - Natsu Basho 2009

[Fayme_Kln]

I went to the heya this morning to get all my tickets for the basho. And who else than Takanohana Beya could have items like this, chopsticks in noble design, nearly too precious to eat with them .



But before this there was keiko at Michinoku Beya.

Nearly too late to see Sandanme Daigen, he could win his last bout and had intensive keiko judging by the sweat on his body.

Tosa had some bouts with Kirizakura, Ryuho with Kirinishiki. Kirinishiki looked good in this fights and I think he will make the jump to makushita again.

Toyozakura was busy looking around and pumping some iron, Hakubo came late, made only some basic movements.

Jumonji took Kirinowaka, slightly vantages for Kirinowaka. But this little poisoned dwarf wasn't so much engaged in training but in badgering a jonidan guy. I don't know what Wakagawa did wrong but he first was hounded by one oyakata and then all the time by Kirinowaka. The boy couldn't do anything which was right in his eyes. He had to carry weight for minutes, got beatings all the time, was corrected how to carry the towel, was beaten with it. When he offered the towel Kirinowaka wanted him to adjust the mawashi, when he touched the mawashi, the towel was in his face again. A hopeless situation for the young man. He hardly could say the usual "hai" even this could have been a provocation again, worth the next slap in the face.

We were not so amused, but Kirinowaka got his slappings on the dohyo today (Neener, neener...)

So here are the pics of Michinoku Beya

Kasugano Beya today.

The training was held by Tochinohana - sitting next to the flowers.

All sekitori were short to be seen. Tochiozan, Kimiruyama, Tochinoshin had about 3/4 bouts, Tochinonada one and Kasuganishiki stood in his corner.

I'm not so familiar with the younger guys from the heya, all had a soft training. Seems I made a little Yashiki session, he lost all his bouts except one, but went against regular makushita guys. Today he lost unlucky against Kirinishiki but showed a good bout.

Early enough for the best of Jonokuchi. The new Takanohana rikishi Takatoshi and Takanoiwa were the best today (Sign of approval...) .

A lot of pics:

Today the day started with Maezumo. Couldn't remember the names and identify them, best one today was Kamiyutaka (at least that's the name I have in mind ).

So see the Maezumo guys and the pics from day 05

Very nice pictures. I like the ones in heya the most. These pictures are precious documents.

Early in the morning we made our way to Onomatsu Beya. Not so much action but we had the chance to see my Onomatsu favourite Fujimoto giving a private teaching lesson to the shin deshi Amatsu and Suekawa. Amatsu, Jonidan 102 in the moment, looks quite promising.

Fujimoto then entertained us for half an hour after the training. His result at the moment is 0-3 :-O but he promised 4 straight wins from now on. "Yes, you can!"

Thank you very much once again ...

Don't forget to say "Hello" to Harumi if you meet her


With all the pictures of your collection maybe a Book will be a good idea

Keiko at Miyagino Beya this morning. Some stretching and warming up, a little bout training, Hokazan had some back pain and did only use the teppo. One unluckier guy had to suffer Hakuho's tachiai. The whole building was trembling ...

A young boy joined the training and was instructed by Hokazan, Hakuho and the Oyakata about some basics. Hakuho was in a very good mood, a lot of laughing and smiling.

so some pics of Miyagino Beya and some during the day including one very new Oyakata, the one and only former Otsukasa:

So see today the presentation of the new recruits and the usual pics of the day:
